Metis Girl ©️ Liza Brown

The Métis (/meɪˈtiː(s)/ may-TEE(S); French: [metis]; Canadian French: [meˈtsɪs];
Michif: [mɪˈtʃɪf]) are an Indigenous people whose historical homelands include Canada's three Prairie Provinces, as well as parts of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Northwest Ontario and the northern United States. They have a shared history and culture, deriving from specific mixed European (primarily French, Scottish, and English) and Indigenous ancestry.

Starting in the 17th century, the French word Métis was initially used as a noun by those in the North American fur trade, and by settlers in general, to refer to people of mixed European and North American Indigenous parentage in New France.

It applied generally to French-speaking people who were of partial Indigenous and partial ethnic French descent.
